Chapter 243 Three Corpses on the Snow Mountain
[Boss: Elegance never goes out of style]
[Erniu is indeed a powerful force]
[San San: This fairy must maintain her image!]
"Now let the little ones show you how to remove makeup~"
As soon as Xu Ying sat down on the makeup chair, Hu Xiaowu rubbed her shoulder stickily and obediently raised a cotton pad dipped in makeup remover oil.
However, the warm scene did not last for three seconds:
Fox Sibao licked some makeup remover oil when no one was paying attention, and then he was so bitter that his fur stood on end, and he kept sticking out his tongue and making "Ptui, ptui, ptui" sounds all over the place.
Xu Ying flicked its forehead: "What are you doing?"
"Fortunately, the ingredients in this makeup remover are safe, so pets at home won't die instantly if they ingest it."
Hu Sansan insisted on using the "lady's technique", and ended up turning the makeup remover cotton pad into a facial mask, covering Xu Ying's face with it and wrapping him up like a mummy.
In the end, it was the fox boss who swept away this group of unreliable people with his tail, and personally used his claws to roll up a cotton pad and accurately wiped off the eye makeup on Xu Ying's left eye.
The live broadcast to help farmers will continue until the evening. During this period, Xu Ying will not be broadcasting in the live broadcast room all the time. There will also be villagers and guests performing their talents and showing their unique skills.
As long as Xu Ying appears during the prime time when audience traffic is high and plays some interactive games with the animals and assistants, the sales of the live broadcast room will increase rapidly.
The entire day's live broadcast video was saved by netizens and made into various slices online, which were funny, featured cute animals, and there were also couples to ship.
At nine o'clock in the evening, although the agricultural assistance live broadcast was over, the popularity of the agricultural assistance program and Xu Ying only increased!
After work, the village party secretary of Xicun prepared red envelopes for Xu Ying, the three handsome assistants, and the little animals.
Everyone was laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
Xu Ying came here by car today, not by motorcycle.
"Shall I take you home?"
Chen Su and Qi Xiao's two inquiring voices sounded behind Xu Ying at the same time.
Xu Ying turned around and looked at the two of them, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
At this time, a commercial vehicle drove into the finishing site.
The car door opened and Secretary General Qin Fuli got out. "Stationmaster Xu, let's go."
When he leaned forward slightly, the slender golden mirror chain dropped, reflecting tiny streams of light as he moved.
After his eyes met Chen Su and Qi Xiao, Qin Fuli paused: "What are you two doing..."
Chen Su and Qi Xiao saw that Qin Fuli had the same surprised expression on his face and looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying's scalp tingled under the incredulous stares of the two men, and he quickly explained, "This is my secretary, helping me hand over work matters."
Xu Ying waved to the two of them and said, "I'll be leaving first. Thank you for your support today!"
She fled in panic.
Suddenly I felt inexplicably guilty. What's going on?

There are less than two days left before the second season of "Desert Survival Rules" starts filming.
Xu Ying arrived at Xishan early, dragging his suitcase.
The desert rescue station has a team of assistants to take care of it, so she feels very safe coming out to record the show.
The program team arranged for her to stay at the Snow View Hotel in Xishan Resort first.
However, less than an hour after Xu Ying checked in, she received a call from Shao, the program's chief director: "Master Xu, please come over quickly."
In the snowy garden outside the coffee shop, Director Shao was smoking sadly. When he saw Xu Ying coming, he put out the cigarette in his hand.
His face was solemn: "Master Xu, something happened. We may not be able to record the program the day after tomorrow."
If the second episode, which is highly anticipated by 30 million viewers across the network, is not broadcast on time, the loss will be huge.
Xu Ying's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
Director Shao sighed: "A murder has occurred in the Snow Mountain Scenic Area."
Just as Xu Ying was about to ask further questions, his cell phone vibrated at the right moment, and the words "Ji Xuehui" appeared on the screen.
She was the female police officer from the Xishan Police Station who had cooperated with Xu Ying when he was tracking down the poachers of Xishan snow lotus last time.
"Yingying, you are at Xishan Resort now, right?"
Ji Xuehui's voice was broken by the wind and snow, and she was clearly exhausted. "We have a difficult case here, and we desperately need your assistance as an expert in animal language."
Xu Ying stamped her numb feet. "I'm at the coffee shop at the foot of the mountain. The snow is so heavy that the cable car is out of service."
"Wait, I'll send a snowmobile to pick you up."
Ji Xuehui paused and lowered her voice, "Take your warm gear. The temperature on the mountain is ten degrees lower than down there, and the wind speed is over force eight."
Half an hour later, Xu Ying was wrapped up like a penguin, curled up on the back seat of the snowmobile.
The crime scene was a hiking trail frequently visited by climbers. It was a legal and compliant hiking route, and the deceased were all members of the same mountaineering team.
The cordon is set up at a viewing platform at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
When Xu Ying jumped off the motorcycle, a gust of wind almost knocked her over.
Xu Ying shrank his neck and pulled up his furry earmuffs.
Xishan has entered the snow season. For people living in high altitude areas, the minus 20-degree cold can still penetrate into the bone marrow through thick down jackets.
The white breath she exhaled formed a fine layer of frost on her eyelashes, and her boots made a dull crunching sound as they stepped on the snow.
She squinted her eyes and saw three bodies covered with white cloth being carried down on stretchers. A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the white cloth.
Ji Xuehui was wrapped in a police polar cold-proof suit, her goggles were covered with icicles, and she had obvious dark circles under her eyes.
"This is awful weather." Ji Xuehui opened her goggles, her eyelashes immediately frosted. "When the line patrol discovered the body this morning, the snow was already knee-deep."
She handed Xu Ying an insulated tablet computer, the edge of the screen glowing blue due to the low temperature.
Xu Ying took off the glove on his right hand, and his fingertips turned red from the cold the moment they touched the screen.
"The three deceased apparently died of hypothermia."
Ji Xuehui blew warm air through her frozen purple lips, "But three people died in a kneeling position at the same time, it's so weird.
Xu Ying had to turn sideways to block the wind and snow in order to see the screen clearly.
The photos of the crime scene were very strange. The three male bodies were arranged in a perfect equilateral triangle, with their knees deep in the snow and their hands clasped together as if they were praying devoutly.
The strangest thing is the corpse in the middle——
A man in his forties, with icicles hanging on his beard, had an unusually calm expression, even a bit solemn, as if death was just the final chapter of some ritual.
“Does it look like an ice sculpture?”
Ji Xuehui said suddenly.
Only then did Xu Ying notice that the surface of the corpse was covered with a transparent layer of ice, which reflected a strange halo under the flash light.
A gust of wind blew and the tablet screen went black.
Ji Xuehui cursed and stuffed the device back into her arms to keep warm. "Technical staff said there's an ice crust forming on the body, indicating extremely high humidity at the time of death, possibly during the height of the blizzard."
"The weather on the mountain during the snowy season is too severe, which increases the difficulty of handling the case, and it is also easy for evidence to be covered up. We really need your help."
Xu Ying was about to answer when he suddenly felt something touch his boots.
Looking down, she saw a snow weasel scratching at the shaft of her waterproof boot, its black eyes sparkling in the snow.
